In the wild jungles of Moscow's luxury car market, a predator has emerged—a 2025 Land Rover Defender Octa, barely broken in with a mere 20 kilometers on the odometer. This isn’t just any off-roader; it’s a mechanical unicorn with a Bavarian heartbeat, priced at a jaw-dropping 37 million rubles. For context, that’s roughly the cost of a small private island—or a very determined midlife crisis.
The Octa’s secret weapon? A 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, on loan from BMW’s performance division, roaring with 635 horsepower. Paired with ZF’s eight-speed transmission, this brute catapults from 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds—faster than a startled gazelle (and most sports sedans). It’s like strapping a rocket to a tank.
This Defender doesn’t just roll—it
itself. 33-inch tires bulge from flared wheel arches, while a redesigned grille and front bumper intake hint at its appetite for chaos. The two-tone paint—matte gray below, gloss black above—screams "I vacation on lava fields." Inside, the cabin blends leather and tech like a Bond villain’s lair, complete with an upgraded sound system for blasting Wagner during dune bashing.
Is it worth the price? If you have to ask, you’re not the audience. This Defender isn’t a car—it’s a statement, wrapped in carbon fiber and delivered with a smirk. Now, who’s bringing the checkbook?
